It’s been a wild couple of years, watching the average republican CHUD become more sympathetic to the USSR than the average wine tasting liberal. How is this reality? What is going on?
They’d have to phrase that in a very particular way, or some critical mass of media people would have to all spout the same message at once. I’m thinking of how Tomi Lahren nearly lost her career for being moderately pro-choice, or how Dave Rubin kept saying too many positive things about gay marriage
I think a better way of phrasing it is chuds will agree with whatever the oil billionaire media says, and it’s only ever going to say a small range of things.
I think theyre about the same honestly, they just hate the soviets for slightly different reasons. Chuds and libs belong to different offshoots of the same capitalist ideology, it’s really not a surprise.
Oh yeah, by “more” sympathetic I didn’t mean actually liking them, just more willing to engage the topic with nuance and actually examine the USSR more earnestly than their lib counterparts, which has been very strange to see. I think it might help that they just hate it because they’re told to, while libs hate it because of “authoritarian dictators” which is something the CHUDs are a fan of.
Personally I find it to be the opposite. Chuds tend to start incoherently frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of communism, while libs will repeat some propaganda they heard why communism is bad, but thats just my experience.

Chuds just do what they’re told. If Fox News and Alex Jones told them communism was awesome they’d agree. It’s why propaganda is so effective.

Totally, it’d only happen if the oil billionaire cabal went woke (or were, say, purged…).
